Eau douce, bassins versants et écosystèmes

The Conservation Council's Learning Outside project encourages teachers to teach existing curriculum outside. We are available to lead outdoor educational activities linked to curriculum. We base our activities on the needs of teachers and their students and highlight the natural features on and near their school grounds, as well as seasonal happenings in nature. We lead games and activities on themes including habitats, food chains and food webs, NB trees and plants, adaptations to winter (animals and plants), pollinators, birds, frogs, ecosystems, wetlands, Atlantic salmon, and more.

EOS can offer presentations, workshops, webinars and hands-on experiences related to climate change. We can tailor things to meet your needs and have a variety of educational resources related to climate change adaptation, energy efficiency and renewable energy. Examples shown in the images are workshops on understanding watersheds, flooding and pollution with our watershed table, hands on water quality testing with our youth Water Rangers Kits, and making and racing solar cars.

We offer 1-hour staff-guided curriculum-linked nature walks on the trails of the 440 hectare Meduxnekeag Valley Nature Preserve to K-5 classes and 2 hr hands-on science workshops for Middle and High School classes on trees, forest soils and water quality. Free to schools; we pay busing.
